Products
As a wholesaler, NVS is committed to sustainable sourcing and takes steps to ensure that as far as reasonably practicable, the products we offer to you, our customers, have been produced in an ethical and environmentally conscious manner.
Our product development and sourcing strategy focuses on delivering the right products at the right price, but we also prioritise:
The use of recycled and recyclable materials
Locally sourced products
Sustainable packaging
Minimising waste.
Locally sourced productsWe’re already working hard to ensure that the products we sell are locally sourced and made in the UK whenever possible. We’re committed to substantially growing our selection of UK-sourced products as this can significantly reduce the transport miles within our supply chain and the associated carbon footprint.
Sustainable packaging and productionWe look for sustainably produced and packaged products and then apply our Greener Pawprint logo next to them on our website, online ordering portal and brochures, to highlight their sustainability credentials.
A perfect example of this is our Select™ from NVS range. Read on for more information.
A one-stop solutionWe are constantly looking to identify any gaps in our product range so that you can fulfil all your practice requirements from one wholesaler; allowing you to cut back on the number of deliveries you need to receive and the associated carbon footprint.
The Select Everyday, Select Healthcare and Select Precision ranges from NVS include over 350 items; providing a wide selection of consumable products and solutions for your practice.
There are already many sustainable products in the range; with over 50% of our products UK sourced.
Here are just a few examples.
